Privilege, motherhood and the messy reality of a curated life in ‘Moms’ by Shivani Sibal - The Tribune
Shivani Sibal began her writing career with a bang. Her debut, ‘Equations’, was a pucca Delhi story, breezily told. The lightness belied the seriousness of what she was tackling: class dynamics in the power-driven city filled with the powerful. Five years later, she returns to a leafy lane in a privileged part of the Capital, with ‘Moms’ cementing her place in the ‘Delhi novel’ bookshelf. A portrait of modern motherhood, her new book brings alive this Instagram-perfect world; she chooses to gaze inward at the family and the power dynamics within it.
